I'm not that familiar with the Godzilla franchise so I can't really comment on that but, beyond the impressive visual side of the creature, that trailer has an incredible atmosphere. It's a masterclass in how to make a creature scary.

Just to compare the two, Clover was a little over 100 meters while still an infant in Cloverfield. I always thought that was terrifying. Godzilla definitely looks stronger though, no doubt because he's fully grown and has his signature atomic breath.

I think it's great that they used an adapted version of the original design and the roar is fine, but considering his size is considerably bigger (hence the adapted design) then I would think the roar should be changed a little. Probably deeper, but that's really only if the argument comes up otherwise I'm cool with it.

Speaking of debates, I've been reading comments on other sites... why are people so irritated by the military presence? Whatevs

From the trailers, he could be over 200 meters tall. But in terms of power. I'm not sure. We see the destruction, but we don't see how easy it was for him to do that.

Godzilla was doing things like surviving minature black holes without a scratch, splitting tectonic plates, and overpowering creatures that could move planet busting asteroids. I doubt they'll do that kinda stuff with this Godzilla. He's seems more grounded, and less like a super-hero.

Ohhhh, you going into that sort of strength, then yeah I completely agree. I doesn't show any other monster, so his strength will probably be fairly normal.

Honest to god, I hope the plot is, Godzilla comes to land, wrecks $#@!, goes back to ocean. With some military resistance in there somewhere. A good godzilla movie needs nothing more then that. lol

Be polite, be professional, but have a plan to kill everybody you meet.

Watching this on my HDTV with a 5.1 system does it justice that youtube cannot. I'm talking about the trailer, courtesy of keepvid, which you can copypasta the URL into and get an HD res mp4 file.

Anyway, more about the trailer.

Blacksite nailed it with the lightning and making godzilla seem like a god comment.

The musical composition alone with the epic cinematography of the first 30-40 seconds is brilliant. And the music sounds a lot like the music from 2001: A Space Odyssey, when they discover the monolith. That same, creepy and deep chant is also in this trailer and it works so well! I love the shot of the Aaron with his HALO gear on. It actually feels like an anime in that sense, but with a live action touch, and it's beautiful.

Let's hope Akira's adaptation into live action can achieve a similar, or better result.

Very excited for this. Shame it's not shot in IMAX. A monster this big deserves the IMAX treatment. And I don't mean that IMAX 3D $#@!. I mean, actual IMAX film camera in 70mm stock like TDK and TDKR were shot on. Imagine seeing Godzilla in IMAX.

You hear what you think is thunder, but then it gets closer and louder, even rivalling the first time you saw the T-REX in the Jurassic Park, vibrating the glass of water. The IMAX screen goes big, it's not regular theater resolution, it opens up and behold you is the god of all monsters, Godzilla.
